I restate myself several times in that last post - but I'm trying to be really careful in the distinction.

OK, sorry if I'm mis-reading the above thread you linked, but the OP and subsequent discussion does not seem to cover the case of an appropriately rated (while not endorsed) safety pilot who is NOT ever the sole manipulator of the controls. If they do not manipulate the controls then my...

I figured there would be a thread that my searching didn't find. Thanks for the link.

Tried google and my google-fu isn't fu-ing... I wouldn't be asking this if a knowledgeable friend hadn't drawn a different conclusion than me. Scenario: Pilot A needs a safety pilot for an IR currency flight in his complex aircraft. Pilot B is an instrument rated pilot with no endorsement for...

So I passed my Commercial checkride a couple weeks ago. Thanks for helping with my multiple, slightly pedantic questions over the lead up. It was helpful. Turned out to be a smooth checkride that I was over-prepared for even though I had a DPE that was known to be a tough cookie. That was...

Copy. I do use ForeFlight actually. That’s what raised the questions above. Even ForeFlight doesn’t limit (to my knowledge) the search area all that well. I do understand that it’s because the NOTAM system is a mess. I’m just hoping there might be a resource out there that has started to figure...

Is there anywhere that charts out/displays notam coverage areas (specifically like the one below - I know some NOTAMs are displayed visually in ForeFlight and I’m sure other EFBs)? It’s very difficult or at least time consuming to carefully determine when/if any NOTAMs formatted like this ever...

Jeezus @Wagondriver! That was a landing every 1 minute 52 seconds for two hours straight! =) You fly a damn quick pattern bud! I'd have a hard time taxiing a Ford F-150 straight after that much spinning in circles. =) Took me 10.2 in a J-3 Cub. I hadn't flown in the 15 years prior so I'm...

Right on, simple. Thanks.

I haven't seen this discussed before and a recent conversation got me thinking. I realize there's an occasional debate on the real utility of a VFR-on-top clearance, but leaving that aside for a moment... If you are VFR-on-top but can see the need to go IFR to get into your destination (or...

Foreflight uses a combination of NWS Forecasts and worldwide wind models to interpolate winds aloft data throughout your flight. In my area this ends up being very accurate the majority of the time...

Thanks Bell206. I figured that might be the case. The TCDS seemed too general to be of much practical use (but it gets referred to so often that it makes me wonder if many folks have actually looked at it). The 21.31 and 43.13 references are helpful and helped to click a few things into place.

OK, I know I'm bumping an old thread AND I know this is pedantic (I'm going to get a reputation around here...) but this raises a point that I keep running into. When I look at the TCDS for 3A12 there are no direct references to which specific parts of the aircraft need to be attached ;), or...

Thanks all for the discussion and for pointing out the errors in the chart. I’ve updated the OP to reflect the fact that there are issues with it. That’s what I get for assuming and not verifying prior to posting it. Dummy. :) At least I think my basic understanding of the primary differences...

As expected ... :D;):D As I'm wandering through all the definitions of Private carriage, Common Carriage, Non-common carriage, Direct Air Carrier, Commercial Operator, wet lease, dry lease, etc. ad nauseum ... It quickly becomes easy to over-complicate things. As I understand things, I can...

Ok, my eyes start glazing over when I go down the rabbit hole on this stuff too. So I'm not exactly expecting this thread to garner much interest... =) But, I'm trying to get down into the details on sort of one remaining category of the "when can I be hired to fly for hire" question. It gets...

Thanks for the reference. I do like the OB podcast. I’m not advocating flying through military exercises whenever we please. I am looking for some regulatory clarity on “airspace reservations”. If it’s simply advisory NOTAMs then that would still be useful information. Right now it’s just a term...

Also, ForeFlight seems to display some in map view that don’t come up in their NOTAM section in the briefing section (again like in the above KLMT example). Anybody know why?

Is there an FAR reference to these types of NOTAMs that I’m not familiar with? Do you all basically treat these the same as an MOA? Avoid if possible/convenient, proceed with caution to the extent called for, etc. With Foreflight’s graphical display of these areas it’s something I notice...
